that's a true TALENT !!! not justin bieber , miley cyrus , selena and the other motherfuckers XDD .. sorry if i'm rude i'm just saying the truth XDDD.
Hey ya wanna see someone that doesn't push a plate away easily and might be able to sing (namely me!!!)? Check us at barcoderoxx dot cm ... I love this guy. He is a real singer....
Brent has an amazing voice. Shinedown's music has gotten me through rough times in my life and I appreciate that so much. As for people commenting on his weight, so what. He still has an amazing voice and puts out great music. And, don't forget he kicked a drug habit. Give the man credit for doing that for himself and his child.
He is AMAZING!!! I wish people would stop saying thing about his weight. He is a recovering drug addict. The drugs he was taking where keeping him thin
to all you peps. that are hating on the best get real yall just mad you cant sound like him to ... and as for simple man . . .not better than the real man . but only one that could ever do it anywhere near the best....
Great voices - I knew Brent was a hell of a singer, but I didn't know the background vocals were going to be so good. (For the record he's not technically "dropping the octave" during most of this. He's just hitting the lower harmony that you hear on the album version. One of the other fellas is singing the melody.)
He's like a half bear half lion with rabies and on steroids. No wonder the accompanying guitarists/vocals are standing 10 feet from him. They're f**king scared of him.
Yeah, he has sounded excellent on record. People might be complaining about his live performances because he tends to sing flat, and doesn't always hit the big note like he does in a studio situation. If you're paying money to watch a live show, the singer should deliver.
@sgwinn1 He doesnt sing flat. Its a vocal technique called "dropping an octave". He hits the same note, its just an octave lower so he doesnt blow his voice out. Most people that know anything about live music and performing will tell you the same.
Bold statements indeed folks. I love Shinedown and Brett definitely has an awesome voice but there's some very stiff competition in those time frames. I'll just say that a band like Shinedown is quite refreshing in the wasteland that is popular music today.
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, type in "shinedown my house" in the search box. Ther are 5 somgs that were done back in 2006. Apparently some dude won a contest for shinedown to come to his house and perform in his living room. Pretty cool and another example of Brents killer f 'ing voice
Totally agree with you SixxPM100. in fact i'll be even more bold and say he's the greatest rock talent (vocalist and song writing combined) of the last 30 years.
A lot of people complain about this band and Brent Smith for his voice live but this is about as live as you're going to get which really impresses me hes a great voice without a dought and as for the last 30 years...I could go with you on that
@SixxPM100 I would add the lead singer of Alter Bridge to that 30 years also. Forgot the name...Myles I think or something... If you guys didn't hear any song of theirs check out Watch Over You, Save me, Rise Today, Metalingus, Shed My Skin, Open Your Eyes.
This on acoustic is flippin amazing Brent totally sounds great IMO he is the greatest rock vocalist of the 21st century idk tho that is a bold statement
hell yeah, this song kicks ass and shinedown kicks major ass! i love it when bands sound just as good/if not better live than they do on the album....next to alice in chains, shinedown is probably my favorite band
At the beginning I think he thought that it would be a lot louder then it is ^.^ I love Shinedown and Brent is hot. I don't really care if he gained weight, Everyones just happy that hes off drugs ^.^
are you crazy?? this is one of their hardest songs up to date!! but you would think on acoustic it wud sound a little softer. but really, this acoustic performance makes this song that more harder. i dont care who you are, if u can change ur hardest song into an acoustic version, ur bad ass!!!
@18losers hardest songs? you mean in difficulty playing? Or hard as in heavy sound. Because neither are correct. This song in its original is not even close to the heaviest song nor the hardest song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
who knew that being off coke would make u gain wieght and also need new band members to sing along with u because ur vocal chords r no longer numb as shitt and ur starting 2 feel it????????? LMFAO still a great song/band/singer but damn the coke made the difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@666Shinedown dude i love shinedown im just sayin his voice went way harder on drugs!!!!!!!! i mean listen to the live save me on the right hand side WATCH that and try n say different....cocaine numbs ur throat which allowed him to hit things most cant ;)
@thc024 yea it did haha when he was on drugs made the performance alot more wild! lol come back drugs :P haha na he could have died if he keept useing so.....
I absolutly love Shinedown! If a band can sing their songs acoustically and sound just as awesome as the record... that is the mark of a true artist! Shinedown are just absolutly amazing! Brents voice is so powerful!
Yet another problem with music today: everyone is so concerned about image. Talent is displayed in the music, and good music has nothing to do with how anybody in a band looks.
Does anybody know where I can learn to play this version?

But I think our definitions of hard is different.
You probebly are going by hard as the combination of lyrics and sound put together.
Me, I am just in it for the sound the guitar makes, and the accoustic is not hard at all.
My version of hard is the kind that makes you want to bash some doors and walls in. Gets you fired up and blood boiling.
This song in accoustics doesn't even make me want to get up. So it is much softer.
